Ensign Jenkins was a female Human Starfleet officer who served on USS Voyager under Captain Kathryn Janeway during the 2370s. In 2375, when she was the night shift helmsman, they answered a distress call. The bio-neural circuitry of the weapon was malfunctioning and it believed itself to be an organic being, claiming it could not remember what its mission was. After the ship's holographic doctor beamed it to sickbay, the device suppressed The Doctor's programming and took control of his holomatrix. It then revealed its purpose and demanded that Captain Kathryn Janeway take it to its target or it would destroy Voyager.
